[update: August 12th 2015: the default download on the Processing page is Processing 3 beta now, for this course we need the stable Processing 2.2.1 though, you can still download it if you scroll down the download page a little ]

Are you an artist who’s been thinking about integrating coding into your artistic workflow but you’ve not yet dared to dip your feet into the vast ocean of bits and bytes? Then you’ve come to the right place! This course will allow you to get a sense of it all and to then decide if you want to go further down that road or not.
Have you been bored to death by traditional programming courses, either in school or online, yet you are still interested in programming because you think this stuff is still kinda important to know and could, maybe, even, actually be fun after all? Well, in that case you’ve come to the right place as well as I’m going to try to give you a fresh view on programming!
And just to be clear: this introductory course requires NO previous programming knowledge at all. It starts from zero. And there are no stupid questions so ask them in the course forum and I’ll address them there.
À qui ce cours s’adresse-t-il ?
Artists with no prior programming experience but with an interest in using code to create art
People who like instant (visual) gratification: Processing, unlike other programming languages, makes it very easy to get visual output almost immediately. this is very satisfying and highly motivating.
Total programming beginners in general who want to get a basic understanding of programming in a fun and creative way
Students of all ages who have been bored and turned off by traditional programming courses and who are looking for a fun way to make programming more exciting
Beware though: this introductory course is definitely NOT for people who already know what operators, datatypes, loops and functions are. Except if they’re interested in how Processing can be used to create visual output.
